Etymology
The word 'dangerously' originates from the Old French 'dangeros', meaning 'difficult' or 'arrogant', and 'associated' comes from the Latin 'associatus', meaning 'to unite with'.
'Dangerously' evolved from Middle English 'dangerous', while 'associated' transformed from the Latin 'associatus' to the modern English 'associate'.
Initially, 'dangerous' meant 'difficult' or 'arrogant', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'involving risk or peril'.
